Preliminary investigations revealed that the network was wider and involved a total of eight people. Chaudhry and two others, Chail Singh and Sumar Singh, were detained while five others were on the run. Chail Singh and Sumar Singh were arrested by the Choutuppal police and an FIR was lodged against the suspects including Samir Khan, Ladhuram, Vikram Singh, Ram Singh and Pukraj Singh.
The operation was made possible thanks to a tip-off from a local resident, whose information proved crucial in the successful seizure of 150 grams of the drug. Chandanagar Police Inspector Palaveli was also commended for his prompt action and coordination with the Narcotics Bureau, demonstrating the determined efforts in combating drug trafficking in the district.
Earlier in the day, Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) officials intercepted two Indian nationals arriving from Bangkok at the Hyderabad International Airport. A detailed inspection of their checked luggage revealed 13 vacuum-sealed clear packages hidden inside the box of Kellogg’s chocolates.
Inside the packages, officers found a green, sticky substance that tested positive for marijuana using a field testing kit.
